The Joe Schmo Show - Netflix

The Joe Schmo Show is a one-hour, 10-episode series featuring a real
guy who believes he is on an over-the-top reality show looking for
America's next bounty hunter and the chance to win \$100k. What he
doesn't know is the entire show is FAKE. For over a year his entire
world was carefully planned by a team of writers, producers, and actors
all performing for him. His "competitors" are actually actors
representing every classic reality show cliché, including the Buddy, the
Jerk, the Model, and even Lorenzo Lamas, playing a washed-up version of
himself. The actors must do their best under these insane circumstances
to follow a pre-determined script. One break in character or a single
misspoken word could bring the entire show crashing down around them.
He'll experience everything from flame throwers and stun guns to being
chained to federal inmates and capturing his own fugitive. "Joe" must
navigate this ridiculous world while we discover how a contestant reacts
to being thrust on a show filled with every outlandish element reality
television has to offer. How far can producers push this 'reality,' and
the ensuing ridiculous competitions? Will "Joe's" character remain
intact? And of course, will the actors be convincing enough or will our
unsuspecting "Joe" figure it all out?
